Following
improved design and manufacturing methods, a UK supplier of LVDT
displacement transducers is now able to offer improved accuracy
sensors on a faster, four-week delivery time.

Applied Measurements
Ltd, based in Aldermaston, offers three main types of stainless
steel LVDT sensor: Miniature (AML/M); Economy (AML/E) and Industrial
(AML/IE) versions. Each of these is available in several mechanical
and electrical configurations. Accuracy is now available to 0.25%
and special models are available for use in pressurised (hydraulic
cylinders) and higher temperature environments.

The basic LVDT
sensor without integral electronics operates from an AC supply
and provides an AC output signal. The Economy and Industrial
versions are also available with standard AC operation or with
integral signal conditioning. The integral amplification requires
a DC supply and provides either a 4-20mA, 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or
±2.5Vdc output options.

The LVDT sensors
are supported by a comprehensive range of analogue and digital
signal conditioning systems, which provides fully calibrated,
ready-to-use systems.

The ALM/M series
is a miniature AC-powered LVDT sensor, which is widely used in
OEM and general purpose displacement measurement applications,
including materials testing machines, automotive and aerospace
test rigs and actuators. The compact physical size makes the
sensor ideal for use in load cells, pressure transducers, weighing
systems and in general closed loop control systems. Stroke length
is from ±0.25mm to ±75mm. Supporting instrumentation
includes trip amplifiers, indicators, PC interfaces, high resolution
digital displays and rack systems.

The ALM/E series
is the economy, standard version of the LVDT sensor, similar
to the miniature series, but the device can be AC or DC powered.
Stroke length is from ±0.5mm to ±550mm.

The AML/IE Industrial
LVDT displacement transducer offers a rugged construction and
improved environmental sealing and is widely used in harsh manufacturing
environments, including process plants, paper mills and industrial
test rigs. Stroke length is from ±0.5mm to ±550mm.
The sensor is protected to IP65 (IP68 is optional). Other options
include an extension rod wiper; axial cable exit; and an integral
bayonet lock connector.
